I have to take out like 3 parts in my truck to get to the lightbulb to change it. That's not super approachable. Then don't even get me started on the electrical systems and what board controls what system. I like working on engines and such, cars are full of so much more now though.
Ok? So take them out, then? Like, I agree that cars are being packaged in some unfriendly ways but honestly I’ve always driven Subarus so it’s not really an issue for me as their engineers are actually considerate and clever enough to keep things simple(or at least relatively simple). I can even do my sparkplugs without having to lift the engine like everyone claims must be done(and maybe that’s a sign the bar is pretty low, I dunno) though either way, with iridium plugs it’s every 100,000km so whatever.
Modern cars have a lot of systems but ultimately if you just follow the instructions you can usually get where you need to go without much pain. Well, mental pain but you will probably bleed somewhere in there and that’s just part of the ✨experience✨.
